4 years with foundation year
For students who do not meet the standard entry requirements for admission to one of our undergraduate degree courses, we offer the option of a four-year degree with foundation year.
The foundation year will help you gain the skills needed to succeed at degree-level study.
Modules focus on developing skills in writing assignments, mathematics, computing, public speaking and presenting. At the same time you’ll develop an understanding of the modern business world. You should expect to undertake significant amounts of reading and independent study outside of the classroom (approximately 12 hours per week during term time).
The foundation-year course may also suit you if you want a change in career, or are returning to education. Our innovative courses ensure that what you learn can be practically applied to the business world as well as preparing you to tackle the academic workload of a degree course.
My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
